It's a story of a certain type of capitalism
If you want to learn more, check out this article from the WEF bit.ly/39s92kl or for a deeper dive, the full book was published yesterday (I've read it. it's good!): amzn.to/3ordkwC
This video is a story about China, past to present. But in telling the story of the Rise of China (and Asia generally), it's impossible to not talk about fundamental lessons that have emerged. In this video I try to tell the story but then also look back and at the result of it all. To examine the data and see what effects our global economic system has had on people and the planet. The data is clear that our model of capitalism has some major winners. But it also produces some important losers, those who have lost out or have been damaged by these trends. One major loser of the this system is the future generations of people who will live on a planet with more extreme and volatile weather and ocean patterns. All of this calls for a rethinking of our capitalism. Not to scrap it all together, but to upgrade it to a version that benefits all of society and doesn't threaten our planet and future generations.
Thanks for watching.

@@homosapien3034 China's re-educating a small group of Muslims who are extremists (any ordinary Chinese would call them terrorists but I do respect that the western media give them names like "human rights activists"). That small group of extremists have caused trouble in the XinJiang region in the past decade, who basically whip out knives to slaughter people that don't believe in their version of the religion. As a person who don't believe in their version of the religion (like the majority of the Chinese population and even the majority of the Chinese Muslims who believe in other versions of the religion), I don't see anything wrong with re-educating them to not kill other people. Also, as a female myself, I think it is important for all women to realize that they are not born to be belongings/offspring-production machines for men, and I don't find anything wrong with the Chinese government educating those women about this.

@Mrjmaxted0291 3 года назад

What's interesting to me is that he doesn't discuss the total absence of private land ownership in China, the communal nature of all agricultural land, or the dominance of SOEs in their economy. Also no discussion of the specific state programs that have been utilised to directly lift these predominately rural communities located in-land out of poverty, or the involvement of some 90 million people from the CPC. He instead attributes these achievements to a vaguely defined "shareholder capitalism". Moreover, he also dismisses the communist economic system out of hand with no explanation or justification. Also a bit misleading to use the percentile graph to portray the lowest income groups as "winners". 75% growth in a $1 a day income is just $1.75. That's incomparable with 300% of the several billion dollars held by 1%ers. The truth of the matter is that the vast majority of all the wealth produced in the past 30 years has been stolen from the world's workers, the people that actually produced it. Their labour produces all this surplus value and it has been siphoned by the 1%. This video is a thinly veiled propaganda piece for the "merits" of capitalism by attributing the state achievements of a socialist country to a global mode of production that doesn't function in China in any way like it does in the west.

Regarding your chart on China"s increase in CO2 emissions, this is not entirely due to the Chinese population. When the industrialized West moved its production and factories to China, it also moved the energy requirements, CO2 emissions, industrial waste and other industrial pollutions. So these China increases in CO2 emissions is really the result of moving factories from one country to another.

@xiangzhang3471 8 месяцев назад

and due to China's highest efficiency in industrial production, the whole world's CO2 emissions even became less than move the productions back to Western countries.

@user-mr5qx6nu3e 5 месяцев назад

@@iBacon Your statement is based on the long-standing propaganda from the media. However, the reality is not as you described. Firstly, China is known as the world's factory, with products exported globally. This means that China is shouldering the emissions that would have been dispersed among factories around the world. Secondly, during the 1990s, China was in a phase of rapid development, and at that time, not only China but the entire world did not pay enough attention to environmental issues. However, because hosting the 2008 Olympic Games was an important opportunity for China to showcase its image to the world, China began to place more emphasis on environmental protection, starting around 2008. It then introduced a "sustainable development strategy" and placed increasing importance on environmental protection, with strict enforcement requirements. Although there has been a process of adjustment, China has been making efforts. Ten years ago, when new leaders took office, they placed even greater emphasis on environmental protection than their predecessors. The simplest example is that China has added forest area through afforestation that exceeds the size of a country like Belgium. Additionally, China has made significant progress in desert control. Clearly, these achievements cannot appear immediately after the strengthening of environmental protection policies. On the contrary, these "results" you see now are evidence of China's early emphasis on environmental protection. In conclusion, it is not your fault to hold biases against China. You have simply been blinded by the media. If you have the opportunity, you are welcome to come to China and see for yourself, to experience it firsthand.

It's unfair to just compare the gross CO2 emission. China has 1.4 billion people. You need to show CO2 emission per capita.

@JamesSmith-ok5jo 3 года назад

I think within the context of the video, using gross CO2 emissions is logical. The growth rate of China's CO2 emissions highlights their economic strength and growth owing to capitalism. As well as the subsequent dangers that ensue from Friedman's economic thinking. But you are right. Lifestyle and factors other than just production play a role in CO2 emissions. China cannot be held entirely accountable for global emissions.

Capitalism is good actually. It is the only system that works and creates wealth and prosperity. Socialism has brought nothing, but poverty, totalitarianism and consequential social regression (liberal democracies such as Sweden or New Zealand are much more feminist and pro-LGBT than Cuba or North Korea). It is painfully clear that communism failed and failed miserably, under Mao China was plagued by constant food shortages and repressions, under Deng, which liberalized the economy and turned it into a market-based system, China has finally started to grow and the constant famines and food-shortages stopped. Ask any economics professor and they'll tell you that communism just does not work and that its track record is nothing but failures. And just a simple question for you to end my comment: where would you like to live in a social-democratic state of Sweden or a Marxist-Leninist state of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea? *"The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of Socialism is the equal sharing of miseries"*

In terms of carbon emissions, China is indeed the country with the highest carbon emissions, which is mainly related to China's large population, growing industry and automobile emissions.

Regardless I think China have unlimited potential because of the people. The backbone of any nation are the smart people who works on building the country, which is why USA was strong because it rely heavily on H1B visa, but that seems to be fading since many of them left and some decided not to come but instead stay in their country to help it grow. India's Silicon valley is hot right now along with China's silicon valley and now even South Korea and Japan's silicon valley but soon other Asian countries will play a huge role too, especially since there are so many chinese from mainland looking to invest in all of Asia like Cambodia, North Korea, Indonesia, Philiipines, Vietnam and I believe thailand too?Not sure about that one, but China is like the mass cleaning crew where they are establishing a relationship with so many nations.

pure 100% unregulated capitalism is only about profit no matter how ... in capitalism we all are busy accumulation of wealth for the future ... A future that we are not even certain about will it excits or not due to climate change polution ....... Capitalism will never shift from shareholder capitalism to stakeholders capitalism .... Profit is ultimate aim of capitalism .. profit profit and only profit nothing else matters in capitalism .. socialism coupled with minimalism coupled universal minimalistic basic income copuled with control of population growth rather decrease in population plus capitalism with strict environmental protection laws is only way out .... Atleast education and basic minimalistic food requriments necessary for survival should be libaralized and must be freely available to everyone like a universal basic minimalistic income

Probably the worst examples: Walmart paying low wages so that employees only continue to shop at Walmart, while the Walton Family is one of the richest families on the planet. Apple restricting or refusing third-party repair because it will mean people are less inclined to buy new devices if their old devices continue to function with a low-cost repair.

@@TheManinBlack9054 What an absolutely bizarre reply. You've taken my criticism of Johnny teaming up with the World Economic Forum and parlayed it into an anti-Communist rant. The calculus in your head seems to be, criticism of World Economic Forum is synonymous with being a rabid Commie. Worse, you've apparently somehow concluded from my original, one sentence long post, that I've already rejected the approach of liberal democracies enroute to my staunch pro-Commie stance. To be clear - I'm well versed in the problems of Communism. I've read enough literature to know its history (including The Gulag Archipelago and biographies of Stalin & Trotsky). My issues with Johnny teaming up with the World Economic Forum are: (1) He's accepting corporate largesse and running a cynical advertisement for big business, aimed at propagandising to younger people, a generation whose life chances have been utterly degraded by neoliberalism and corporatisim (low wages, massive student debt, ridiculous property prices) (2) He'd previously positioned himself as an independent minded journalist, only to sell out and become a corporate mouthpiece. He's impugned and sullied his channel by allowing it to become a vector for corporate propaganda in return for his 30 pieces of silver. I'm not interested in listening to corporate PR claptrap paid for by the representatives of Apple and Coke. It is possible to be critical of the current configuration of Western capitalism without being a foaming at the mouth Communist my friend.

Scandinavian social democracy with strong influence of free capitalism has good models for functioning balanced society, but as a christian democrat (who dont believe in utopia but man fallible sinfull egotistical nature) in Sweden I am very sceptical of a too strong goverment who intervenes and controlls and tries to get more and more controll.. Power corrupt and the people in power always want more power. it is human nature, that is why you need to regulate both goverment and private sector they can both become corrupted or greedy very easily.. Paradoxically with regulation comes freedom, it balanaces peoples wills and interest in a democratic fashion when society regulates our freedoms through politics. Society needs counterweights and messures to not be slanted in to either ditch.
